			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Washington Post reporter Dana Milbank just doesn&#8217;t get it.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t that be the kind thing to say?  I mean, one would have to believe that Dana is no fool.  A long time reporter, he went to Yale (just another member of Skull and Bones hanging near the White House.)  And, he was smart enough to get away from <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/05/dana-milbank-leaving-coun_n_116997.html" target="_blank">Keith Olbermann</a> before it was too late, and his brain completely turned to raspberry Jell-o.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/04/AR2010020404009_pf.html" target="_blank">In today&#8217;s Washington Post</a>, Milbank sets his sights on Senator Scott Brown (R-MA).  You know, THE Scott Brown.  The Scott Brown who was 30 points behind senatorial candidate Martha Coakley (D-MA), only to have the force of the Tea Party movement, the awakening of the electorate in Massachusetts, as well as his own perfectly timed statements of universal truths, push him to a convincing nee crushing defeat of Coakley.  Independents in Mass had spoken&#8230;..loudly.</p>
<p>The article written by Milbank is a child-like, snarky attack on Sen. Brown for how he handled being sworn into office.  It starts as a gigantic whine about how Brown listened to those evil, wicked conservative radio hosts &#8211; as if, somehow, Brown is a puppet? &#8211; and after accepting that he would be seated on Feb. 11th, he, &#8220;&#8230;requested &#8212; no, demanded! &#8212; that he be seated promptly &#8212; no, immediately!&#8221;  The Senate Democrats seated him on Thursday, February 4th.</p>
<p>Milbank then continues with a truly foolhardy article that would make an attempt at humor, if only it wasn&#8217;t dripping with his incessant vitriol.  In the article, Milbank:</p>
<p>- refers to Sen. Brown as Sen. Centerfold, due to some modeling Brown did in his 20&#8242;s in Cosmopolitan magazine.  He was naked in the photo shoot, and it was 30 years ago.</p>
<p>- states that &#8220;Brown&#8217;s surprise victory impressed many people.  None more than Brown himself.&#8221; (Milbank&#8217;s attempt to label the new Senator an egomaniac.)</p>
<p>- states that, &#8220;The one declarative position Brown did take &#8211; &#8220;The last stimulus bill did not create one new job&#8221; &#8211; was demonstrably untrue.&#8221;</p>
<p>- states that Brown is getting Kennedy&#8217;s old office, and that it was Kennedy&#8217;s seat.</p>
<p>You would have to be simply daft to write this article, and I am more than sure others will pick this nonsense piece of filler apart in the coming days.  Here, however, is the reality behind the four points Milbank attempts to make:</p>
<p><em>- refers to Sen. Brown as Sen. Centerfold, due to some modeling Brown did in his 20&#8242;s in Cosmopolitan magazine.  He was naked in the photo shoot, and it was 30 years ago.</em></p>
<p>Does calling him Sen. Centerfold pass for comedy in your house?  Are you riffling through Sen. Franken&#8217;s (D-MN) trash, looking for jokes that he discarded?  Amongst other Statists, the moniker might stick.  But, with worthless jokes meant to discredit like that one, the only moniker that will stick around is this one &#8211; (R-MA.)</p>
<p><em>- states that &#8220;Brown&#8217;s surprise victory impressed many people.  None more than Brown himself.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Wrong, Mr. Milbank.  None more than the Democratic elite establishment, itself. Democrats are still shaking their heads over this one.  And yet we still have Democratic Senators and Representatives dismissing the Tea Parties, blaming their inability to get anything done with a 60 seat Senate majority on the GOP and attempting to persuade the American people that saying no is a bad thing, even when said on principles.  My guess is that Sen. Brown is thrilled that he won, and so he should be.  He ran a great campaign, and the people of Massachusetts voted for his message.  Massachusetts voters not voting for the hand picked Democrat&#8230;.now that is ego!!</p>
<p><em>- states that, &#8220;The one declarative position Brown did take &#8211; &#8220;The last stimulus bill did not create one new job&#8221; &#8211; was demonstrably untrue.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Government can not create jobs, Mr. Milbank.  Only the private sector can create jobs. However, government can create conditions that are favorable to the business owners &#8211; by getting rid of over regulation, excessive paperwork, lowering taxes and, in general, getting the hell out of the way.</p>
<p><em>- states that Brown is getting Kennedy&#8217;s old office, and that it was Kennedy&#8217;s seat.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Dana, have you learned nothing?  Watch this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I direct you to Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), and an email he sent out (see below) on behalf of <a href="http://www.marthacoakley.com/splash_111310" target="_blank">Martha Coakley</a>, a Democrat running for the vacant Senate seat in Massachusetts.  The seat came vacant when Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) passed away last year.  She is running against <a href="http://www.brownforussenate.com/" target="_blank">Republican Scott Brown</a>.</p>
<p>I specifically direct you to the way that Scott Brown is described as, &#8220;&#8230;a far-right tea-bagger Republican.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sen. Schumer is a fool, and so are the people who vote for him.  However, his crass comments highlight something far worse than his inability to be a mensch.  They show that he simply doesn&#8217;t understand the American people.</p>
<p>The Tea Parties aren&#8217;t a bad thing.  They are a great thing!  The members of the Tea Party Movement aren&#8217;t renegades, terrorists, hate-mongers, misogynists, racists or any of the other lies that Janeane Garofalo, MSNBC or the New York Times like to throw out every day.  The members of the Tea Party Movement are the voice of America!  They demand common sense in Washington D.C.  (Which is too bad for Sen. Schumer!)  They demand fiscal responsibility, they demand smaller government, they love Capitalism, they believe in the Constitution.</p>
<p>Sen. Schumer doesn&#8217;t recognize that he is on the wrong side of destiny.  Sen Schumer is the past, and he is a failure.  Him, his ideas, and those of the like-minded Statists who hate it when Americans remember they have a spine, and won&#8217;t allow it to be bent in submission.</p>
<p>&#8220;A man can&#8217;t ride your back unless it&#8217;s bent.&#8221; &#8211; Martin Luther King, Jr.</p>
